Bristol's Best Irish Pub - Seamus O'Donnell's
Posted on: 07 Feb 2017Seamus O'Donnell's is unequivocally Bristol's best Irish pub. They're old-fashioned and proud. Set in the heart of Bristol's Old City, it's the perfect place for post work beers, live music and the weekly quiz.
It's the perfect spot to catch all the 6 Nations action in a great atmosphere!
Serving up the best pint of Guinness you’ll find this side of the Irish Sea, Seamus O’Donnell’s is one of Bristol’s favourite pubs. A classic one-room Irish pub, the décor is classic without being tacky – something you associate with the larger Irish-themed chain bars and their over the top stylings. Guests are greeted by a red ceiling, dark wood tables and dark green stools. The walls are plastered with gold advertising mirrors and Irish street signs and shelves are lined with old whiskey bottles, jugs, flagons, board games and even an old fiddle.
One of the very best pub quizzes in Bristol is held every Wednesday evening in the homely surroundings of Seamus O'D's. It's just £1 per person to enter and each team receives a free bowl of chips to go with the great drinks on offer! Subjects vary but the result is always the same: a great evening had by all.
Situated next to St Nicholas Market, it is a popular watering hole for weary shoppers and office workers at lunchtimes, with a bustling crowd taking over in the evenings. The atmosphere is always excellent and something that really sets this place apart from the rest.
There are live bands playing just about every Thursday, with acts being added all the time, so it’s always worth checking out their events calendar here. Their house band, The Ceili, are a Bristol based four-piece band playing traditional Irish folk music. They have also been known to throw in a few bluegrass, acoustic blues, jazz and folky arrangements of popular tunes to the mix as well.
Every Wednesday evening from 9pm there is a quiz night. Entry is just £1 per team member with the winner taking all. There’s even a free portion of chips for each team…what more reason do you need?!.jpg "Seamus O'Donnell's in Bristol")
